Police probing MP’s post with Bible verses as ‘anti-LGBT hate speech’ in Finland scandal

[New World Explorer]

Finnish authorities are investigating a Christian MP and former interior minister over her Facebook post that included verses from the Bible, which police say may amount to an “attack” on the LGBT community.

Päivi Räsänen is an MP for the Christian Democrats, and was Interior Minister between 2011 and 2015. Back in June, she criticized the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland (ECLF) over its participation in Helsinki’s LGBT Pride events.

“How does the foundation of the church’s teachings, the Bible, fit with elevating sin and shame as reasons for pride?” Räsänen posted, alongside a photo of the Bible open to Romans 1:24-27 from the New Testament, which describes homosexuality as “sinful,” “shameful” and “unnatural.”

Now it has emerged that the police have opened an investigation against her for alleged “incitement against sexual and gender minorities,” a spokesperson confirmed to the Helsinki Times.https://www.rt.com/news/468135-bible-verses-probe-finland/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=RSS

I’m sure other Brothers & Sisters have long had the same thought that I have had, that one day our preaching will all fall under the umbrella of “Hate Speech”.
